Decoding China
by Matthew B. ChristensenDo you like to know the unspoken conversations going on around you when visiting other countries? Are you someone who likes to travel on your own terms-from finding that special restaurant to negotiating a better price for a prized antique in a local flea market? If so, Decoding China is the hands-on communication guide for you!Decoding China will teach you the basic "rules of the road" on how to operate in Chinese culture. Like every country, China has its own unique set of cultural "codes," ways of behaving on a daily basis that all Chinese automatically know are the norms. These codes frame every personal interaction in China, and carry with them subtle cultural expectations that the Chinese assume everyone else knows. By learning to recognize these key codes, words and phrases-and using them correctly-then everything you do in China will go a lot more smoothly.By drawing on extensive cultural and linguistic expertise, Dr. Christensen explains the key Chinese cultural codes and how to use these to your advantage. In practical chapters organized by topic, he shows you how to get things done in China, even with very minimal knowledge of the language. Being aware of the cultural norms and a few key words and phrases will give you tremendous confidence, and allow you to "crack the code" and achieve whatever you want. Decoding China will make your China experience work for you, rather than against you, wherever you travel in the country.

Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age of Infinite Browsing
by Pete DavisA profoundly inspiring and transformative argument that purposeful commitment and civic engagement can be a powerful force in today&’s age of restlessness and indecision.Most of us have had this experience: browsing through countless options on Netflix, unable to commit to watching any given movie—and losing so much time skimming reviews and considering trailers that it&’s too late to watch anything at all. In a book inspired by an idea first articulated in a viral commencement address, Pete Davis argues that this is the defining characteristic of the moment: keeping our options open. We are stuck in &“Infinite Browsing Mode&”—swiping through endless dating profiles without committing to a single partner, jumping from place to place searching for the next big thing, and refusing to make any decision that might close us off from an even better choice we imagine is just around the corner. This culture of restlessness and indecision, Davis argues, is causing tension in the lives of young people today: We want to keep our options open, and yet we yearn for the purpose, community, and depth that can only come from making deep commitments. In Dedicated, Davis examines this quagmire, as well as the counterculture of committers who have made it to the other side. He shares what we can learn from the &“long-haul heroes&” who courageously commit themselves to particular places, professions, and causes—who relinquish the false freedom of an open future in exchange for the deep fulfillment of true dedication. Weaving together examples from history, personal stories, and applied psychology, Davis&’s &“insightful without being preachy…guide to commitment should be on everyone&’s reading list&” (Booklist, starred review).
Deep Awake: Wake Up to Onesess and Become a Lover of Life
by Tim FrekeAs the author of more than 20 books on the world's spiritual traditions, Tim Freke is in a unique position to present a revolutionary new approach to spiritual awakening. With astonishing clarity and directness he explains why popular spiritual teachings that urge us to reject the mind, attack the ego and detach from the vicissitudes of life are misguided. Using the powerful tool of 'paralogical thinking', he reveals that everyone has both a 'deep I' and a 'personal self'. The deep I is our spiritual essence, which is one with everyone and everything. We experience the deep I as a feeling of limitless love. The personal self by contrast is our tender humanity; it feels pleasure and pain, hope and heartache, love and loss. The personal self feels separate from the world. Tim's powerful paralogical insights reveal that the personal self is not an obstacle to our spiritual essence which must be overcome but rather a doorway to the deep I. Indeed, it is only through the personal self that we can find and then embody the deep I in our lives. The ego is not the villain but rather the hero of the spiritual journey. When we are deep awake, we wake up to oneness and celebrate separateness. We embrace both our spirituality and our humanity. Authentic spirituality is not about detaching ourselves from life, but about wholeheartedly diving in so that we can express our deep love and our unique human passion in the world.

by Victor ShamasDeep Creativity reveals the findings of Victor Shamas’ 30-year exploration of the creative process.

Deep Happy: How to Get There and Always Find Your Way Back
by Peter Fairfield&“Deep Happy takes us to the place within each of us that is already happy and connected.&”—Ken Dychtwald, PhD, author of With Purpose Somehow our happiness always seems transient, dependent on what&’s happening in our lives. But there is a deeper happiness that can only be found in the present moment. Deep Happy is based on quantum physics and the belief that we are intimately and infinitely connected to the larger universe. Spiritual and transformational healer Peter Fairfield offers tools and practices to achieve everyday happiness. He distills more than forty years of healing, research, and personal experience into this profound and practical volume. The stories and exercises in Deep Happy show readers how to understand and communicate with a deeper intrinsic reality to achieve lasting happiness: The more singular our request, the easier it is for the universe to respond. Positive and negative expectations can cancel each other out. The universe hears the heart most easily. Remember that the universe is us. The separation we feel is an illusion we have created in our own head. This is a fascinating and provocative look at the deepest workings of the biological, quantum, and sacred reality of who we are. Fairfield shows how anyone can drop beneath the normal noise of everyday life to experience deep and profound happiness.

Deep Human Connection: Why We Need It More than Anything Else
by Stephen CopeNew in paperback. Originally published as SOUL FRIENDS. Best-selling author Stephen Cope explores the essence of human connection through five essentialtypes of relationships."Destined to be a classic. . . . . Cope makes us want to risk making real, intentional human connections-and makes us long to celebrate them, and to allow them to transform us into fully-conscious and fully-alive human beings."- Geneen Roth, New York Times best-selling author of Women, Food and God and Lost and FoundDo you long to connect more deeply with other human beings? Do you wonder if you're living up to your human potential to make these deep connections happen-and perhaps missing out on this most compelling aspect of a vital life? In this groundbreaking new book, best-selling author Stephen Cope invites us to explore the most important questions in this domain: What is the nature of human connection? Why, precisely, is a capacity to connect deeply so important to the development of our minds, bodies, and spirits? What are the actual mechanisms of connection that we must master during the course of life? How can our lack of connection inhibit our happiness and satisfaction in life? Can we learn to connect more wisely than we do? Cope is well known as a master storyteller, and in this new book he seamlessly blends science, scholarship, and storytelling, drawing on poignant stories from his own life as well as the lives of famous figures-from E. M. Forster to Sigmund Freud to Queen Victoria-whose formative relationships shed light on the nature of connection itself. In the process, he lays out in stunning detail the precise mechanisms of human connection, which he distills into five helpful categories: containment, twinship, adversity, mirroring, and conscious partnership. Then he invites us into a remarkably practical reflection on how these forms of connection appear in our own lives, helping us work toward a fuller understanding of deep human connection-and a more satisfying and fruitful life.
